About Pressure Point

"Pressure Point" is a song by The Zutons. It was the first single to be released from their debut album Who Killed...... The Zutons?. During the music video, a number of chaotic incidents occur around the musicians, including a hanging dress, a cat and its milk, the flow of the milk, and the billboard. At the end, the billboard collapses, making it look like the musicians are dead, but they still sing and tap their feet. The music video was used in the PSP demo disk, the single was featured in several Levi's commercials in 2004 and 2005, and in the EA Sports video game MVP Baseball 2005. The single peaked at #19 on the UK Singles Chart in January 2005 and was the band's first chart appearance. To date, "Pressure Point" is the band's only chart hit in the United States, peaking at number 29 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart in 2005.

I can't get this pressure point out of my head
I can't get this pressure point out of my head
I feel it in work, you know, I feel it in bed
I can't get this pressure point out of my head 
I've paid all my bills and I've acted so well
Ain't been cheating, there's nothing to tell
So why all this pressure, I don't understand
I call on my neighbours, and lend them a hand 

Doctor, oh doctor, I'm willing to learn
Well all of my bones, well they toss and they turn
Mother, oh mother, I'm begging you please
To rid me of madness and cure this disease 

(?) told you what I have become
With all of this pressure, my mind's on a run
(?) changing, let's hope for the best
Maybe it's something to get off my chest 

Doctor, oh doctor, I'm begging you please
To rid me of madness and cure this disease
Mother, oh mother, I'm willing to learn
Well all of my bones, well they toss and they turn 

Pressure pressure pressure pressure
Pressure pressure pressure pressure
Pressure pressure pressure pressure
Pressure pressure pressure pressure

I can't get this pressure point out of my head
I can't get this pressure point out of my head
I feel it in work, you know, I feel it in bed
I can't get this pressure point out of my head 

Pressure pressure pressure pressure
Pressure pressure pressure pressure
Pressure pressure pressure pressure
Pressure pressure pressure pressure
